how to get control panel jog buttons for X Y Z working in gmoccapy

I will post here if I found a solution

You are welcome ?

Here’s an article on using an arduino to act as a USB keyboard.
www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/337

Set it up to send an enter key and you are done. No need for any HAL connections. You can even use it to send key combinations.

After the slightly bad news from Norbert about currently there being no button to emulate the keyboard enter key, I decided to explore one of your suggestions re hacking a keyboard to get the enter key button onto my control panel
I decided to use the older keyboard connector as I have a few spare ps/2 keyboards.
Once I stripped a keyboard down it was fairly simple to trace the enter button traces on the plastic film to the two appropriate two strips on the circuit board. I soldered wires to these two traces and tested it - perfect worked first time
I also tried a usb keyboard as well as the ps/2 keyboard connector, bingo PC saw them both and linux recognised them both
just goes to show whata littler latteral thinking can come up with - thankyou BB

do you have an example of how I would use the or2 command to allow the use of both the pendant button and the panel buttons

(from the hal file)
net run-btn <= parport.1.pin-10-in-not => halui.mode.auto => halui.program.run

(from the pendant section on ini file)
start-pause = std_start_pause

so, how would I use the or2 command with the above

Thanks in advance
Paul

Just connect parport pin to or.0.in0 and the physical button to or. 0.in1 then or. 0.out to the start pause halui pin.

Do not forget to load with loadrt and connect or also to servo-thread.

All out of memory, so check the Hal pin names etc.

Docs are always a good place to start

The devs have put a lot of effort into the docs, give them a go.
